Hi Duncan, I do have an idea (at least as a temporary measure). Each
quote level can have its own background colour too, but the
preferences dialog only sets one.

Open up your preferences.xml file and look for the lines (they might
not be together) with

<color name='body-pane-color-quote-1-bg' value='#FFFFFF'/>
<color name='body-pane-color-quote-2-bg' value='#FFFFFF'/>
<color name='body-pane-color-quote-3-bg' value='#FFFFFF'/>

and change the Fs to 0s so it becomes

<color name='body-pane-color-quote-1-bg' value='#000000'/>
<color name='body-pane-color-quote-2-bg' value='#000000'/>
<color name='body-pane-color-quote-3-bg' value='#000000'/>

and that'll turn it to black for you. :)

Now for ideas on the fix: there's two ways we could do it. Way 1:
allow each quote level to have its own configurable background colour,
like in the (hopefully attached) screenshot.

or

Way 2, we get Pan to only use the one background colour set in the
current preferences dialog with a change to body-pane.cc. Lines 538,
542 and 546 all become

===

"background", p.get_color_str ("body-pane-color-quote-bg", bg).c_str(),

===

If the first method is preferred I can create a patch for the
preferences dialog. What do we think?
